    Mooresville, NC, May 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fundamental Global Inc. (NASDAQ:FGF, FGFPP))) (the "Company" or "Fundamental Global"), formerly known as FG Financial Group, Inc. ("FG Financial"), today announced results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. As previously announced, FG Financial and FG Group Holdings Inc. ("FG Group Holdings") completed their merger (the "Merger") as of February 29, 2024, whereby FG Group Holdings merged with and into FG Group LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In connection with the merger, the Company was renamed Fundamental Global Inc.

    Kyle Cerminara, Chairman and CEO of Fundamental Global, commented, "We are pleased to report our first quarter as a combined company following the merger of FG Group Holdings and FG Financial Group. With the completion of the merger and transition well underway, our goal is to simplify all of our operations, reduce public company costs and focus our efforts on accelerating growth in select scalable and high ROIC businesses. In April, we announced the sale of our Digital Ignition business in Georgia which reduces debt, increases cash and decreases overhead costs. Also in April we announced the planned combination of Strong/MDI Screen Systems with FG Acquisition Corp., which will form a Saltire Inc as new investment platform in Canada and potentially unlock and grow the value of our investment in Strong/MDI. We are continuing to focus on ways to reduce costs, streamline and focus our efforts on shareholder returns."

    Select 2024 First Quarter Highlights

    Note: The financial results for the first quarter 2024 reflect the financial results of the Company following the Merger, which was accounted for as a reverse merger. Therefore, the financial results present the operations of FG Group Holdings for periods prior to the merger and present the combined results of FG Group Holdings and FG Financial for periods subsequent to February 29, 2024. As a result, the quarter ended March 31, 2024 reflects three months of activity from the operations of FG Group Holdings and one month of activity from the operations of FG Financial.

    Fundamental Global Inc.'s 2024 first quarter included:

     ●Revenue increased $2.1 million or 31.6% to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 on a $1.1 million increase in revenue from Strong Entertainment combined with improved investment performance as compared with the prior year period. The growth in revenue from Strong Entertainment was due to increased demand from cinema operators for screen products and installation services. Investment income was favorable as the Company's equity method losses were lower in the current year period. The three months ended March 31, 2024 also includes reinsurance premiums and investment income for one month following the Merger which was effective February 29, 2024. The second quarter of 2024 will be the first reporting period that will reflect a full quarter of reinsurance and investment operating results from the acquired FG Financial business lines.
       
     ●Total expenses increased $3.9 million or 36.3% to $14.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in total expenses was due to $0.7 million increase in cost of cinema product and service revenues accompanying the revenue growth in the entertainment business; a $1.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to the combination of growth in the entertainment business, the additional costs of operating Strong Entertainment as a public company, and the additional SG&A from the FG Financial business following the Merger; and a $1.4 million non-cash impairment related to the sale of the Digital Ignition building. As an objective of merging FG Group Holdings and FG Financial, management expects general and administrative costs to decline following the merger transition.
       
     ●The Company paid dividends on its 8% Series A Preferred Stock of $0.4 million, or $0.25 per share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
       
     ●Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $4.3 million, or ($0.26) per share, compared to $3.8 million or $(0.42) per fully diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
       

    Balance Sheet Highlights

    As of March 31, 2024, Fundamental Global' s key balance sheet items included:

     ●Total assets of $110.3 million as of March 31, 2024, and increase of $48.1 million from December 31, 2023, and investment holdings totaling $49.1 million, including directly or indirectly held investments in Strong Global Entertainment, Inc. OppFi, iCoreConnect Inc., holdings under the Company's Merchant Banking Platform for FG Acquisition Corp., FG Communities, Craveworthy, and other holdings.
       
     ●Total stockholders' equity of $66.4 million as of March 31, 2024, an increase of $29.6 million from December 31, 2023, reflecting our increased scale on a combined basis following the Merger.
